1-3/8" Brake Cylinder Flex - Brush Research

The Brush Research BC13/8 1-3/8" Brake Cylinder Flex Hone is engineered for professional automotive and industrial applications, providing efficient and precise honing of brake cylinders. This robust tool is designed to restore the optimal surface finish within cylinder bores, effectively preparing them for new piston seals and ensuring proper braking performance. Its flexible design and durable construction make it an indispensable tool for maintaining hydraulic system integrity.

Key Features

• 180-Grit Abrasive Surface: Features a silicon carbide abrasive ideal for quickly removing rust, corrosion, and glaze while achieving a consistent cross-hatch pattern.
• Flexible Self-Centering Design: The unique flexible shaft allows the hone to conform to the cylinder bore, ensuring uniform material removal and easy access into confined spaces.
• Heat-Treated Construction: Manufactured with heat-treated components to enhance durability and extend tool life under demanding shop conditions.
• Controlled Material Removal: Designed to provide precise and controlled honing, critical for maintaining specific bore tolerances and surface finishes.
• Designed for Efficiency: Engineered to streamline the cylinder reconditioning process, saving valuable technician time in professional settings.

Applications

This 1-3/8" Brake Cylinder Flex Hone is primarily used for cleaning and honing hydraulic brake cylinders found in a wide range of vehicles, including passenger cars, light trucks, and various industrial equipment. It is effective for preparing cylinder bores before installing new piston cups or seals, crucial for preventing fluid leaks and ensuring reliable braking system operation. This tool is also suitable for deburring or finishing other small bore components where a controlled abrasive finish is required.
